Apocalypse: I have a supermarket stocked with supplies
Chapter 401: Eating sunflower seeds

Chapter 401: Eating sunflower seeds

She was cracking sunflower seeds with great enthusiasm.

"For you, that’s all it is."

Su Yinhe: "..."

Laughing, laughing, laughing, aren’t you afraid of laughing yourself to death?

Su Yinhe admitted that she was a bit malicious.

But she couldn’t help it.

She might have been born a malicious woman.

Su Yinhe sighed.

"Don’t sigh, boss. I won’t laugh anymore... hahahaha... sorry, I couldn’t hold it in." Xu Jiaoqin originally didn’t want to laugh anymore, she was just a customer after all, she had to give some face to the shop owner.

But for some reason, as she was trying to stifle her laughter, when she saw the shop owner’s expression, she couldn’t hold it back any longer.

"Alright, alright, if you can’t hold it in, then don’t. Being too restrained isn’t good either." Su Yinhe patted her shoulder.

"Okay, then I won’t hold back hahahaha..." Xu Jiaoqin completely let go.

And began to laugh loudly.

This time her laughter was particularly exaggerated, almost hysterical.

Su Yinhe: "..."

I was just being polite.

Don’t you know what politeness is?

Xu Jiaoqin didn’t understand at all.

But by this time it was too late, she had already spoken.

Su Yinhe felt like slapping herself.

She really deserved to die.

Really deserved it.

That’s what she gets for speaking without thinking, this is the consequence of babbling.

Su Yinhe could only continue watching her laugh.

Because Xu Jiaoqin laughed, Su Yinhe didn’t give them anything else when they left today.

She, the boss, also cared about her face.

A little bit of revenge.

Her heart was kind, she only dared such a retaliation, and even this couldn’t really be called retaliation.

Su Yinhe shook her head and then got lost in her thoughts and started to feel self-admiration again.

Her heart was kind... hehehe...

Su Yinhe felt like lately she was really not quite right in the head.

As if someone had eaten her brain.

She acted like a brainless person, her IQ had plummeted recently.

Because of a recent shopping spree at the supermarket, the Cheetah Team’s supplies had increased significantly.

They already had a lot of supplies.

Exchanged at the supermarket before.

After the supermarket vanished, they were a bit scared; even though they had exchanged a lot, people are like that, always worried it might not be enough, they were thrifty whenever they ate or used supplies.

Splitting a half into several small pieces to use.

They had plenty of supplies, but they used them sparingly.

Supplies are always limited, they had to think about the future.

After the supermarket came back, they bought a lot of stuff, replenishing their supplies in no time, and even stocked up more.

Now, they were well-provisioned.

Monkey then suggested, "Sis, should we have a feast to celebrate?"

"Yeah, yeah. Sister, let’s celebrate. The supermarket is back, and we’ve saved up so much, we have to celebrate." Bai Yuanyuan’s eyes lit up as soon as she heard it and quickly joined the persuading group.

Hearing this, everyone else’s eyes also sparkled, and they joined the group as well.

"Yeah, yeah. Sister, don’t you think this weather is just perfect for a warm meal? Let’s have a big feast and treat ourselves."

Xu Jiaoqin looked at the crowd gathered around her and was about to burst into laughter.

"Okay, okay, I agree. Am I such an unreasonable person? To need so much persuasion from you all." Not to mention them, Xu Jiaoqin herself was eager for a feast.

She wanted to eat something really good.

The snacks the boss had given them before were tasty and plentiful, but no matter how good they were, they still weren’t quite satisfying enough.

"Yeah! So what kind of feast are we having?" Bai Yuanyuan asked eagerly, almost jumping with excitement. After her initial joy, she didn’t forget to focus on the most important question.

"Let’s go for hotpot," Xu Jiaoqin suggested after pondering for a moment.

In this weather, if you make anything else and eat too slowly, it gets cold in no time.

They didn’t have any heating now, so besides wearing thicker clothing, they depended solely on their body heat.

But with hotpot, it was different.

You can eat and cook at the same time.

The food stays steaming hot as you eat it.

Although they, as Superpower Users, ate pretty quickly and food seldom had the chance to cool down before finishing, a hotpot meal was just more fun.

There were quite a few people in Cheetah Team, especially when you included family members.

So Xu Jiaoqin got three big pots boiling at once.

It was fortunate that they had bought so many big pots from the supermarket.

Three pots were set up: one with Beef Butter Hotpot base, one tomato broth, and the last one simply clear water.

People could choose whatever they liked from whichever pot.

Most still preferred the spicy Beef Butter Hotpot; it had a robust taste and seemed to warm them up a bit in this weather.

Their feast consisted entirely of supermarket purchases: the pots, the base, the chopsticks and bowls, and the ingredients.

"You all remember, without the supermarket, there would be no meal like this. If anyone causes trouble for the boss in the future, you must always lend a hand," Xu Jiaoqin said earnestly.

"Count on us, sis," Bai Yuanyuan chimed in, stuffing a freshly cooked piece of meat into her mouth. It was so hot that her face scrunched up, but she didn’t forget to agree with Xu Jiaoqin.

"The boss is like a second set of parents to me; if anyone dares to give the boss trouble, I’d risk my life to intervene," she said. The boss might not need her help given how formidable he was, but she had the willingness to offer it if needed.

After living through the apocalypse for so long, one would think they wouldn’t develop such thoughts.

But the boss had truly been too good to them.

Too kind.

To some extent, the boss had indeed given them a second chance at life.

So, if Su Yinhe ever found herself in trouble and they happened to be there, they would risk their very lives to help her.

Su Yinhe was unaware that there was a group of people willing to risk their lives for the sake of a bit of shopping.

They finished their feast amidst laughter and chatter.

It was indeed a rare luxury.

Considering the cost of the meal’s ingredients, they weren’t cheap at all.

Fresh vegetables and various kinds of fresh meat from the supermarket.

There were many of them, and they had bought a lot.

Xu Jiaoqin felt her heart bleeding as she made the purchase.

With that much money, they could have bought plenty of rice, plenty of supplies.

The feast they had today could have been traded for a month’s worth of basic food supplies. If they managed it carefully, it would have been enough to last them a whole month.

A month’s food supply vanished in a single meal.

Delicious, yes, but it truly pained her heart.

Yet it was a rare indulgence. After this, they would go back to their thrifty ways again.

There was no helping it; they needed to conserve.

This damned apocalypse, it was impossible to predict when it would end.

Nor did they know when the supermarket might disappear.

Xu Jiaoqin had asked Su Yinhe this question.

Su Yinhe’s answer was, "It depends on my mood."

She would move it if she felt like it.

Or she wouldn’t budge for a lifetime if she didn’t want to.

Her whole selling point was to "Do as you please."

Xu Jiaoqin seriously doubted whether Su Yinhe had said this just because she had laughed too loudly.
